“The blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.” 1 John 1:7
Some imagine that a sense of pardon is an attainment only obtainable after many years of Christian experience. But forgiveness of sin is a present reality–a privilege for this day, a joy for this very hour. The moment a sinner trusts Jesus he is fully forgiven. The text, being written in the present tense, also indicates continuance; it was “cleanses” yesterday, it is “cleanses” today, it will be “cleanses” tomorrow. This is the way it will always be with you, Christian, until you cross the river; every hour you may come to this fountain, for it cleanses still.
Charles Spurgeon, Morning and Evening, July 23
Philippians 4:6-7
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Deuteronomy 7:9
Know therefore that the LORD your God, He is God, the faithful God, who keeps His convenant and His lovingkindness to a thousandth generation with those who love Him and keep His commandments.
